Summary
With just 7 inches on the ground—about 63% below the seasonal average—and a base SWE of 1.3", conditions remain firm and thin in many areas. Overnight air temps hovered above freezing at 33.6°F, limiting snow preservation. While the 24-hour forecast offers only a light dusting of 0.06", look ahead to the weekend for more promise: nearly 1.15” of snow is forecast over 72 hours, with an additional inch possible by early next week. Groomers are your best bet today, as natural runs remain sparse and early-season hazards may be present.
The resort remains abuzz with excitement beyond the slopes. Recent renovations at the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort & Spa are drawing apres-ski crowds, while holiday visitors explore everything from family-friendly adventures to upscale dining. Ahead of the season’s peak, a skier’s guide to Beaver Creek has been released to help navigate terrain updates and essentials. For uphill enthusiasts, new safety guidelines are in place resort-wide. While snow coverage is lighter than hoped, the magic of Beaver Creek still shines through — both on and off the mountain.
